.11 - audio;
I understand the basic premise behind... Valentine's Day.
[Hubert sounds a little awkward, uncertain and even a little nervous as he speaks.]
But I wasn't here last year, and we don't have a holiday like this in Strahta. Would anyone be willing to give me a little more information behind it? What's common for ah... not... "couples" but perhaps two close friends... ?
[Short, sweet and... mostly to the point. Mostly.]

I've had women interested in me before, Mr. Fujimoto. [And men, but he'll spare Shiro that information.] And I'm not... completely inexperienced. But none of them have ever... ever lit this spark in me the way she has.
I wish I could understand why it is I'm attracted to her so much. Everything in my head tells me I shouldn't be but I can't ignore what my heart says.
audio
[Forgive him for his less-than-eloquent answers, he's still fighting off the terrible mental images of kawaii yaoi flirting.]
If you- If it's like you say, then she deserves that honesty. And it sounds like you won't be happy without her, either.
audio
... you're right. You're absolutely right.
audio
[Oh, the woes of relationship trouble! Why do hearts have to be so fickle?]
audio
audio
...so don't do anything rash, if things don't turn out how you want them to.
[Not that he thinks Hubert has no chance, but Shiro is a realist. He's also grown fond of Hubert and doesn't want the poor kid offing himself over a girl.]

audio
[He would give Hubert a pat on the back if he could.]
By the way, I found a sword, so we can practice anytime now.
audio
[Sparring would be a welcome distraction from all of this.]
I'm actually free this afternoon.
audio
Know of any good places to spar? I'm thinking the center of town is not such a good place for it.
audio
I suppose that depends on how you feel about snow.
audio
I wasn't aware that it could snow underwater.
audio
No, no, there's an island above us, accessible by an elevator. It's open, and we're less likely to do damage up there than down here. It's just also been very cold and snowing for most of the winter season.
audio
You mean to say that there is a part above water we can visit, and nobody thought to mention this at some point?
audio
... your sons didn't bring it up? As long as the eldest one has been here, I would have thought they knew.
audio
[Yukio just got back, and Shiro and Rin had two heartfelt conversations in two weeks, which kind of drained all of their feels for the next month.]
audio
Well, there is. It's a nice place to get away from the bubble from time to time. And they hold events up there from time to time.
audio
[He'll be gathering up the stuff he got earlier so that they can do some training stuff.]
audio
Excellent. I'll meet you in the plaza.

action
Mr. Fujimoto, it's a pleasure to finally meet you in person.
action
Aah, we did only ever talk over those starfish, didn't we?
[This thought is kind of funny to him, because he's used to talking to people in person rather than over phones or communicators.]
action
Yes, but even here that doesn't last long. It's not a large city - people meet face to face eventually.
action
[He's still not sure where everything is in this city.]
